Abstract: A modular audio system which includes an acoustic module configured to be removably engaged with a head-worn peripheral device. In some examples, the head-worn peripheral device is a pair of eyeglass frames and the acoustic module is configured to removably secure to a socket arranged on the inside face of the temples of the eyeglasses. The acoustic module can slidingly, pivotably, and/or magnetically engage with the socket such that, when secured, the acoustic module is configured to generate acoustic energy in the form of audible sound proximate a user's ear while the user is wearing the head-worn peripheral device. In other examples, the temples of the head-worn peripheral device are configured to slidingly engage with a sleeve, where the sleeve includes a pocket configured to slidingly engage with the acoustic module.

Abstract: An audio system and methods for detecting proximity between or engagement between a removable open-ear acoustic module and a host device. Upon detection of proximity or engagement, the audio system may adjust at least one device setting of the devices in the system. In some examples, the devices of the audio system are capable of obtaining specific identifying information about the other devices, and can be configured to adjust the at least one device setting based on device identity. For example, adjusting the device settings can include an adjustment to power state of the open-ear acoustic module, an audio equalization (EQ) setting, a volume setting, a bass level setting, a treble level setting, an Active Noise Reduction (ANR) setting, a user profile setting, selection of an algorithm of a plurality of algorithms related to data collection, a sensor calibration setting, and a user interface control setting.
